A Thousand Deaths

 

A Thousand Deaths introduces a man who is mourning the death of his wife. She suffered from dementia for the final thousand days of her life. He is joined by his son and daughter in the church on the day of her funeral. In this family reunion dark secrets are revealed, and we discover how love can pull a family together or drive them apart.

 

Purple Squirrel

 

Purple Squirrel is set in a bar next door to a 24-hour international recruitment agency. A priest is drowning his sorrows, while playing chess on the bar with the bartender and sipping his whiskey. It is the shift changeover at the recruiters, and they come to the bar to drink away their problems. As the drinks flow, they reveal to the priest that recruiting is not all that it seems.
